Congratulations! You two are the definition of perseverance. I have enjoyed following your journey. I hope that whatever the next chapter in your life may be you can tackle it with the spirit, drive, commitment and determination that you have demonstrated on the AT. Thank you for sharing your story along the way.

Congratulations to you and your mom on joining the ranks of those who have hiked the entire AT! We had met at Blackrock Hut in Shenandoah during my section hike (I'm the guy in the red shorts in the pics from your May 22 entry...thanks for the fried chicken, by the way, it was delicious!). I have been following your hike this summer and fall from the confines of the Cube Farm (booo). Awesome job! Congrats again...
